PHP - File Permission Issues

Hi guys,

I need a little help. I am running a site in XAMPP whilst I develop it locally. I am trying to upload an image file. Heres my code:

$photo=$_POST['photo'];

$target_path = "uploads/";

$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['photo']['name']);

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['photo']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file has been uploaded";
} else{
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}

But I get these errors:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(upload/ferriswheel.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/temp/phpNwxq6I' to 'upload/ferriswheel.jpg' in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/xampp/whatmycitywears/submitphotoprocess.php on line 53

Am I right in thinking this is some sort of issue with the temp directory? It seems to be putting it somewhere is XAMPSS folders rather then in my directory

Any help would be great!

I am trying to write this php code that is a form that allows the user to upload images along with a few other text fields. I keep getting this error when trying to upload the file to the server:

Code: [Select]
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move '/tmp/phpiPdn6u' to 'http://www.webdesignsbyliz.com/wdbl_wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyten_2/upload/dd.jpg' in /home/webdes17/public_html/wdbl_wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyten_2/submit_jewelry.php on line 45


I have the code set up to tell me where the file is supposed to be uploaded, so it appears to upload kind of, but this error message and checking the actual folder on my server proves it doesn't get uploaded to it. I have had a code like this set up before and it worked, I just cannot find my files at the moment. Here is the code:

the form:
Code: [Select]

<form id="jewelry" name="jewelry" method="post" action="http://webdesignsbyliz.com/wdbl_wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyten_2/submit_jewelry.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table id="jewelry" name="jewelry">

<td colspan="2"><input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="reset" id="reset" name="reset" value="Reset" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Can anyone help me figure out how to get the image uploaded and saved into the upload folder on the server? Also, the filepath is not getting inserted into the table either for some reason, and not sure why. Please, can anyone help?

Hello there.new member here in need of help!
So i use the code the code below to display images from a folder into a form. My problem is that i put checkboxes with various selections in order to transfer the selected items later to a file or echo the submission. As it seems at the moment is that i can display correctly everything in my form but for some unknown reason i cannot echo/write to a txt file the files(names) that i choose with the checkbox.There seems to be something wrong with my loop but i'm not sure. I would appreciate any help.thank you in advance.

Here is my code:

I have use apache server with PHP installed on it,i created one directory through php coding it get created but it has permission ( drwxr-sr-x 3 www-data www-data   4096 Feb 26 04:54 Merchantid_30)

my other directories has ubuntu:ubuntu permission,

I want to write on my directory but www-data wont allow me to write on it,giving 777 permission through chmod is risky,

can i create directory through php but its default permission is set to be ubuntu:ubuntu instead of www-data ?

what changes i need to do in coding?

 

I want to delete an image file from a folder using unlink. The code is :
Code: [Select]
$movie_id  = $checkbox[$i];
 
$sql = "DELETE from movie_basic_details where `movie_id` = '$movie_id'";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$sql1 = "DELETE from movie_details where `movie_id` = '$movie_id'";
$result = mysql_query($sql1) or die(mysql_error());
$sql2 = "DELETE from movie_stars where `movie_id` = '$movie_id'";
$result = mysql_query($sql2) or die(mysql_error());
$query = "select movie_name from movie_basic_details where movie_id = '$movie_id'";
$res = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
$data = mysql_fetch_array($res);
unlink("upload/movies/".$data['movie_name']);

}
The entries in the database have been deleted but only the image corresponds to that entry do not get deleted. The following warning comes up :

Warning: unlink(upload/movies/) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in C:\wamp\www\ContentPanel\deletemovies.php on line 23

I have uploaded the files using $_FILES server variable and move_uploaded_file function. I am running this script on windows 7.
Please Help.

Im in the process of setting up a social media site , Just switched from basic hosting to Dedicated Server
Everything was working till i switched .

I have a basic join forum and email activation , On the register.php file it tell script to make a directory mkdir into member/folder like this below, But it will  make the folder for the id of that user but will not let them upload any images?. At first it wouldnt even make a folder but i found out it was a permissions issue with my server i fixed it , im guessing the upload is also a permission's issue ? But the script automaticly make the members/"$id" folder and i dont know how to set permission for auto create folder that if i even have to ? so confused.

(BEGGGGINGG !! FORRRRR HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Im running a dedicated server with godaddy, On centOs w/ Plesk Panel 9.3.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$id = mysql_insert_id();

// Create directory(folder) to hold each user's files(pics, MP3s, etc.)
mkdir("members/$id", 0755);

i have some questions on how folders and files permissions work. say i have users directories outside 'protected' as below..

Code: [Select]
users
 -- usera
   -- docs
 -- userb
   -- docs
protected

i do not want user B who does not have the rights, to access anything in user A directories. also, i do not want any person to access the directories directory via url links. basically i just want users to be able to access their own directories, and no one else. how can it be done?

thanks!

PHP is owner of image directory with "permissions 660."
Why can't PHP write to it? (a "permission denied" error is generated.)
But if I allow execute permission ("760") then it works.
Why??

My script is:

$imagePath = '../imageDirectory/'.gif';
$image = imagecreatefromstring(base64_decode($raw_image_data));
$rotate = imagerotate($image,-90,0);
imagegif($rotate,'../imageDirectory/'.gif');

Is it because the imagerotate and imagegif functions need the execute requirements to be able to monkey with the image?

Thank you.

Sub question (maybe more important than the first question):
PHP is configured to run as "user = www-data" and "group = www-data"
I am also a member of the group "www-data."
For me to be able to read and delete files in that aforementioned imageDirectory, should the imageDirectory be chown www-data:www-data ?? or chown myself:www-data ??
(both styles work)

Thank you.

i want that when someone post some comment on post that don't insert in table directly before inserting i can check and after approving then insert in table for which what i doo ?any IDea about this

Hi.  I'm trying to make my folder management tool able to remove stuff.  Problem is, I get permission denied.   I've checked the NFTS perms for the share and for the folder.  It's also not read only.  I logged into my other workstation as the service account the web server is using and opened a DOS window and did "rd \\server\share\folder" and it removed it no problem.  It just fails in PHP.  Any idea what I should be looking at?   Thanks!

this script is supposed to save my $csvfile to a .sql file name $ouputfile  into a folder called files/

$csvfile = $_FILES['file']['name']; //form from another folder

$save = 1;
$outputfile = "output.sql";

here is the save script
if($save) {
   chmod($csvfile, 0777);
   if(!is_writable($outputfile)) {
      echo "File is not writable, check permissions.\n"; //when i execute this script, it goes in here
   }
   
   else {
      $file2 = fopen($outputfile,"w");
      
      if(!$file2) {
         echo "Error writing to the output file.\n";
      }
      else {
         fwrite($file2,$queries);
         fclose($file2);
      }
   }

 

Hmm, hello everyone, i'm running my php in an ubuntu server and I'm trying to run a command using exec (i.e. 'echo 1 > /var/www/test.txt') but I always get a permission denied issue, although i've already changed the permissions to 777 (read-write-execute)

Any solution?

So i am on a shared host and it seems that only 777 allows me to upload images on a certain folder , not 755 , just 777... is it because of the shared host or thats how it works?

PS: i really didnt know where to post it so if a mod can move it , i'd appreciate it.

I have started a project using laravel. I am in the process of builing User groups and permissions in the admin dashboard. I have uploaded a snapshot of my views to which i want to restrict access. i want to structure it to be completely dynamic    views.PNG   9.41KB   0 downloads

I am getting this error Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: Can't open that file: Permission denied in /home/chris/public_html/site-name/wp-content/setup.php on line 62

Code: [Select]
$conn_id = ftp_connect($host, 21) or die ("Cannot connect to host");
  ftp_login($conn_id, $usr, $pwd) or die("Cannot login");

// turn on passive mode transfers (some servers need this)
// ftp_pasv ($conn_id, true);

  $upload = ftp_put($conn_id, $file[0], $file[1], FTP_ASCII);

  print (!$upload) ? die('Cannot upload') : 'Upload complete';
  print "\n";

The permissions to the file is 0644, if I change it to 0777 ftp_put complains and says the file is not found.

How can I ftp this file? What is going on?

Thanks,
Chris
